Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF-Test: Animals were treated for 4 hour using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2x2 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. After the application time (4 h) the skin was washed with Lutrol (50%). The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. The report describes findings after 24 and 48 hours and at the end of the observation period (8 days). For a final evaluation, the findings after 48 h and 72 h from the raw data were taken into account.
